Senate Votes to Block New Media Rules

The Senate has approved a resolution to repeal media ownership rules that critics say could lead to a wave of mergers and ultimately stifle diversity and local viewpoints in news and entertainment.

Defying a White House veto threat, the Senate voted 55-40 to undo changes to FCC regulations governing ownership of newspapers and television and radio stations.
